a four day layover in Lake Tahoe.
Continuing the tour exclusively in
California, where the team feels they
will find the toughest competition,
the next three games will be played
in San Francisco against Stanford
University, Chico State University
and Los Altos, a high school team.
On Monday they will play Merced at
Merced.
That same day, they will play the
University of California at Santa
Barbara.
On Tuesday, May 25, the women
face Long Beach, Commerce and the
Fullerton water polo teams’ at Los
Angeles. The last game is against San
Diego State University at San Di
ego.
Ten women make up the Texas
A&M team. They are: seniors Anne
Ketterer, Barbara German and co
captain Leslie Hager, juniors Suzie
Lynde, co-captain Debbie Starr and
Vicki Brown, sophomore Cindy Hal-
laran and freshmen Shirley Hill,
Jennie Hicks and Linda Melis.
These women are not recognized
by Texas A&M as an official school
team; however, they all are mem
bers of the women’s swim team
which is recognized by the universi-
ty \.
“Anyone who wants to can join the
team,” Lynde said yesterday. “But
all of those girls going are serious,
experienced water polo players.
Sometimes we also have some
novices on the team,” she said.
In years past, the team has played
less experienced teams from high
schools and clubs which didn’t offer
A&M the competion they were look
ing for, team coach Dennis Light
said.
“You wouldn’t believe the trouble
we have finding teams to play,”
Light said. “There just aren’t many
good teams for us to play around
here.”
The reason for organizing the tour
is to allow the women to get experi
ence against some tough teams so
they will know what to expect at the
National Amateur Athletic Union
matches next November .
If the women make this trip, it will
be the first time a female team has
gone representing Texas A&M.
The women and Coach Light hope
to see this tour become an annual
event giving future teams a break in
the summer in the form of a group
vacation and the chance to gain
needed experience that they can’t
get here, Light said.
Currently competing in intramur
als at Texas A&M, the team is 4-0 in a
series of seven games. ,
